There's also the iceLink Plus, from Denison (http://www.denison.com/icelink_info.htm). As the above, it connects to the CD changer portion of the car's radio, so the radio needs to have that. The thing sounds great, I've enjoyed it greatly since I bought it. Much better sound than the iTrip.

Uh... Apple's been saying "Tiger" everywhere. :p I'm sitting here looking at the retail box, and it says "Mac OS X Tiger" in big bold letters. But ElDiablo is right about the computer names, they're internal code names the engineers give the machines, and they get out to the public...

http://www.applefritter.com There's others, too, just can't think of 'em off the top of my head at the moment.

Just the name John. Um, the short user name, not the full one - the same as your home folder is named. No path needed, just replace the /dev/null string with John. Then, any email sent to root will be sent to the user John instead.

Hmm, well after a little searching, I found where the preference is kept. Your Home Folder -> Library -> Preferences -> ByHost -> .GlobalPreferences.UUID.plist (UUID is a unique set of numbers that identifies your computer, so I couldn't post that part of the name) There's an option named...

Try checking it then unchecking it again - that should get it to notice that you don't want the sounds.

The dfont files are TrueType. They're the same as the suitcase files in OS 9, but the resource fork has been moved to the data fork.

I had the issue with the F-keys not working happen to me when I installed the 10.4.1 update. I couldn't use them to change the display brightness, change the sound level, or eject CDs/DVDs with them. I decided to log out, and found out that selecting it in the Apple menu just wouldn't work...

Yes, the PB in those posts stands for "public beta." Note the time those posts went up - September 2000, a little over 4 1/2 years ago.

Yes, it has to be called Users. If you did the above, then the UsersG4 drive/partition wouldn't get mounted, because there would be no /Users folder for it to get mounted at. Well, it would be mounted, but most likely under /Volumes. How does your Users partition "vanish"? Is it on the...

Milo, launch Software Update, and let it list the stuff. Select everything you want to update, then instead of hitting the "Install" button, go up to the menu bar to Update -> Download Only. Doing this will download the installs, and you can try them one by one by double clicking on them...

It could conceivably reduce the range a bit, from having a lot of background "noise" but I don't think it would cause problems unless you're trying to use the BT stuff from a distance. Note that I don't use BT, so take that with a grain of salt, since I haven't ever tested it.

Hmm, that shouldn't be an issue with a powered enclosure, though. It should get the power from the plug rather than over the Firewire connection. I haven't had any problems with having a DVD drive (read only) in a powered enclosure and having my iPod dock connected to that. Though...

Hiya Stella, it looks like something has messed up your Preferences folder. Do you have anything set up a bit different from a normal install? Or do you maybe have the FileVault security turned on (not that I've heard of issues like this from it)? Are you getting any warnings or errors from...

The sad thing, Rand, is that may be completely true. ;)

I haven't tried it, but I'm 99% sure that wouldn't work. The LABEL thing is just what the drive/partition is named, so I'm pretty sure that path names using it aren't going to work - autodiskmount (what mounts these using the labels) will just see the whole thing as the drive name, and either...

cron still runs. But if seeing is the only way to believe for you, you can do this command: ps -auxc | grep "cron" If cron is running, it'll show something like this (not exactly this, but very similar) root 51 0.0 0.1 27512 612 ?? Ss 10:57AM 0:00.03 cron If...

With Hervé, you never can tell.

When there is an error in a cron job, it will mail the output of the error to the user. Since most people change the /etc/crontab file for cron jobs, this means the mail will go to root. However, unless you've specifically changed it, all mail to root is forwarded to /dev/null aka "the black...

I think, though, that the PRAM settings are saved in NVRAM, so resetting the latter would also reset the former.
